Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOSes), today introduced a comprehensive suite of example projects and demos designed to give developers a quick start with projects based on the Renesas RZ/A1 Starter Kit Board (RSK). The example projects—13 in all—cover each Express Logic product individually and include multifunction examples that illustrate how to use several products together. In addition to helping developers gain familiarity with Express Logic X-Ware™ products, the demos help teams rapidly develop proof-of-concept designs, reducing time to market. The demo workspace, containing all 13 example projects, can be downloaded from Express Logic’s RZ/A1 Download Center.

The example projects can be downloaded for free and used without a time limit so that developers can evaluate the RZ/A1 as well as Express Logic’s X-Ware, which includes ThreadX®, NetX™, NetX Duo, USBX™, FileX®, GUIX™, GUIX Studio™, and TraceX®. As well, developers taking advantage of the currently running Renesas RZ Express program gain access to fully functional, permanent, royalty-free production licenses for all Express Logic X-Ware products referenced in the demos.

“This comprehensive suite of X-Ware–based RSK projects offers developers a wealth of out-of-the-box examples that makes getting started much easier,” commented William E. Lamie, president of Express Logic. “Much of the far-reaching appeal of our X-Ware products stems from the fact that they enable development teams to consistently get to market faster. With these examples in hand, developers gain insight into all aspects of real-time system development and gain an even better edge by choosing Express Logic products.”

“Today’s development teams need a fully integrated software and hardware solution for the successful execution of increasingly complex embedded-system designs,” said Ritesh Tyagi, vice president of marketing for Renesas Electronics America. “The comprehensive line-up of Express Logic demos and example projects helps designers quickly and effectively build powerful and differentiated solutions for applications that range from human-machine interface to building automation, medical, and even the Internet of Things. What’s more, under the RZ Express program, developers can receive thousands of dollars’ worth of highly integrated, high-quality, production-ready software that they would otherwise have to purchase for their development.”

The 13-project demo workspace can be downloaded from http://rtos.com/download_center. The demos require a Renesas RSK board and IAR’s Embedded Workbench for ARM, V7.20.2 or later.
